摘要
作为交际媒介的语言,它与人的观念紧密相连。洛克认为,观念是存在的符号标记,内存于人的心灵;而语言作为观念的符号标记,将其外在化,使我们能与他人进行交流。基于这一角度,本文论述17世纪认识论的重要代表人物洛克的语言观及其对语言学发展的影响。文章认为,洛克的语言观建立在他的经验主义认识论之上,是欧洲大陆语言哲学,甚至整个语言哲学的有机组成部分;其对语言学的影响广泛而深远,但并非都是直接的。
Language, as a medium of communication, is closely related to idea. According to John Locke, idea is the sign of existence in mind, while language is the sign of idea through which we can communicate and share our thoughts with others. On the basis of Locke＇ s ideaistic theory, the author of this paper tries to discuss the linguistic theory of Locke and its influences. The author also holds that Locke＇ s linguistic theory is based on his empirical epistemology and that his theory of language has exerted profound influences upon modem linguistics, though not all directly.
